Pilgrimage Costs
Little More
The Hongkong Government Issued the following announcement regard- ing the lloj pilgrimage:
apile of war time difficulties ar- rangements have been made to trans- port pilgrims from India to perform the Haj pilgrimage and necessary shipping is being provided. Realiz ing that the fare for sen journeys ir toile based on actual cost would in present circumstances be prohibitive for poorer pilgrims, His Majesty's Government and the Government of India have agreed to meet certain Items of expenditure attributable to war conditions, such as cost of war risk insurance on pilgrim ships (the principal factor tending to Increase fores) and expenditure on account of any abnormal detention due to the measure designed for the protection of these ships from dangers of enemy action.
The effect will be that in spite of the heavy increase in operating the cost under war conditions, this sub- sidy will make possible keeping * pilgrims' fares close to the former
loveleg, a return deck passage Bombay-Jedda will cost only Rupees 195 as compared with Etupees 173 in 1938 and 1939.
Sailings have been arranged from Bombay, Kurachi and Calcuits, and pilgrims ship will be convoyed in the danger zone and such
measures taken to afford
be as may pilgrims the
other necessary fullest possibic protection.
Similar arrangements are. In con- templation to assist pilgrims from cor- tain other territories, eg. Palestine, Aden, East Africa and Molayn.

'Tell me, doctor
Are you sure? I can't believe that all this should have started with a tiny cut on the finger? There must be some way of prevents
ing such awful results... Tell me, what ought I to do?*
The smallest cut or scratch is enough for the germs of blood-poisoning to enter. There is only one way to prevent their invasion: they must be killed-at once." Dettol, the Modern Antiseptic, can be applied im- mediately. Dettol' is gentle and tender on human tissues, non-poisonous and non-staining to the skin- yet death to germs. Your chemist has 'Bettol.'
